The Multi-robot Systems Group integrates various research disciplines required for design, implementation, experimental evaluation and application of complex robotic systems. Our group welcomes cooperation in EU Research and Development projects and is open to R&D collaboration with industrial partners. We offer student projects for PhD, Master's and Bachelor's degrees.
